henry George and Chief Bushyhead-Re-
ngtOn for the Indians.
Special to the Gazette.
TAHLEQUAH, 1. t, Jan. THE Pres
byterian board of missions have Just fin
ished nice threestory building at this
place, to be used as school, under the
name of Tahlequah Presbyterian
Institute. Rev. w. L. Miller of
this place and Rev. Timothy Hill of
Kansas City are the leading spirits in this
enterprise. The building would be a
credit to any town with it's fine mansard
roof, and modern architecture, the work
OF Chicago mechanic. This school will
be well patronized by the Presbyterians
of the Indian Territory.
The late council donated 160 acres of
land to be used by the Methodist board,
which contemplates the erection of a
school building costing $4,000, 10 be
used by them N educating the youth of
the Cherokee nation.
The Baptist University near Muskogee,
erected under the auspices of the Baptist
board at cost of about $4,000,
is another institution. The five
tribes have found out and
highly appreciate these institutions
by patronizing them literally. These
institutions, together with the high
schools and primary schools throughout
the nation and Territory, make this coun-
try favorite spot so far as educational
advantages are concerned.
Your reporter ssw letter to-day from
the HoL. Henry George, the great free
trader, advocate of holding lands in COM
mon and workingmsn's champion, to our
chief, d. w. 3ushyhcad, asking him to
write an article on the beauty of holding
lands in common for his paper, published
in New York. The chief says he will
comply with Mr.. Georges requesr, and
we dare say it will be a readable article.
for, like George, he is an enthusiast on
holding lands in common, too, and.
is an able writer. Chief Bushyhead
has hsd several offers with
big pay attached TO go into the lecture
field on the Indian, prohibition and other
questions, and he has also been urged by
several in the East to write
on different subjects connected with
his people, their landed interests, etc.
But he has refused these offers SO far,
preferring TO serve his people in the
highest position they could place him for
the last eight years, that of chief, but now
that his term is about to expire,
and he is no candidate for reelection, it
Is likely he will be heard from in both
lecture and literary fields.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American
people so healthy that they can enjoy
their meals and be happy.
Remember;-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle.

October is the month that seems
All woven with midsummer dreams ;
She brings for us the golden days
That fill the air with smoky haze,
She brings for us the lisping breeze
And wakes the gossip in the trees,
Who whisper near the vacant nest
Forsaken by its feathered guest.
Now half the birds forget to sing,
And half of them have taken wing,
Before their pathway shall be lost
Beneath the gossamer of frost
Now one by one the gay leaves fly
Zigzag across the yellow sky;
They rustic here and fiutter there,
Until the bough hangs chill and bare.
What Joy for us.-what happiness
Shall cheer the day, the night shall
bless?
'Tis Halloween, the very last
Shall keep for us remembrance fast,
When every child shall duck the head
To find the precious pippin red

can absurdityl" replied the King.
"a mere threat to induce you to
keep the vessel sealed for forty years.
Only you and l shall see, and then,
if we deem wise, the secret shall go
no farther. The jar shall be sealed
again"
However much the apostle might
have feared what was to come there
was no appeal. The wonderful YES
sci was brought into the Kings
apartment. The Kings smith was
also brought in and asked to open
the jar without injury to it. He took
sharp tool, encircled it with q
scratch which he continually made
deeper, until the wall was penetrat-
ed and the top came off. The King
and apostle eagerly bent over. If
their curiosity had been great before
it was a thousand times intensified
now. There was nothing in the jar
but few ashes Of dried leaves, not
a bit of folded parchment. Dubious
ly the King drew forth the parch-
ment and spread it out. At first
sight the writing on it appeared un-
ineligible; but after careful scrutiny
it proved to be key to the hero
glyphics on the outside of the vessel.
When the key had been applied, the
mysterious tracings yielded up their
long secret in these words:-
Behold how my labors have
blossomed maturely into fruit. The
multitude's SCOTS at that which it
knows, preferring always to venerate
the mysterious. The fool looks rather
to the virtue of his discovery the
adroit man regards the manner of
men with whom he has to deal.
"Le, l declare to you there was
nothing here, nothing, except this
plain vessel of clay and these few
scented leaves, and the Power which
you have venerated so long is the
mighty power of your own supersti-
tions. Go learn a lesson"
"TExITos."
Both the apostle and the King
were greatly disturbed.
"This cannot be true" stammered
the one.
"He has played us shabby trick, "
cried the other. What he discover
ed was great no doubt, but such a
message as this not only contradicts
our senses, but paints us all as fools.
No doubt the world treated him
shabbily. He paid it back by taking
his secret with him into the grave.
The King had the vessel sealed
again, and some of the dust in it
carefully analysed, but to no pur-
pose. The story was gradually whis-
pered abroad; the apostle became
half-hearted, somehow the wonder
seemed to have lost its power, and
the temple fell into disuitude.

BEHRING'S STRAITS.
Something of the Inhabitants of the COun
try Round About.

Something of the Inhabitants of the Coun-
try Round About.
The distance across Behring's Straits, at
the narrowest point, is about six times the
distance from South Ferry to Staten ISL
and-a fact which shows rather lmpres-
sively how slight were the obstacles in
prehistoric times to the spread OF popula-
tions from Asia to America. Except for
dense .fogs and a chop sea, scarcely any
serious impediments would have been en-
countered by those early navigators. The
human beings who inhabit these inhospita-
BILE shores at the present day, says a
writer in RdrDer's, naturally possess strong
claims to our interest and study, for here
in Behring's Straits, and not at Eric the
Reds voyage of discovery, not at the en-
terprise of Christopher Columbus, one
might say, without too great assumption,
American history makes its beginning.
Our illustrations, from points along the
contiguous shores, both in Alaska and
Siberia, facilitate a study OF this engaging
theme. Underground houses are prevalent
throughout the localities, and notably so
on the American side. Usually the en-
trance to the house proper is through a
narrow horizontal underground passage
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1887-04-28

way, extending from the house itself to an
opening that leads to the surface. Some
times this opening is covered over with a
rude house or shed as a protection from
storms, but it is frequently without cover
of any kind On the Siberian shore de-
serted houses of this description have been
found, the races which built and used them
having passed away-a fact showing how
uncivilized races may possess their rUined
towns and deserted royal residences as
we'll as more famous nations. Houses
erected above ground, such as those at
Plover Bay, frequently have their frames in
geniously constructed of large bones taken
from the whale or walrus, these houses be-
ing often used as summer homes. Many
of the skin-covered canoes also have their
frames made of bones. The oomiak is q
boat rather liable to be upset, and the ma
tive contrives to meet this unpleasant con-
tingency by attaching to his boat q sort Of
water-tight compartment consisting of a
whole seal-skin sewn up tightly and filed
with air. Not less curious than their boats
and houses are the graveyards of our arctic
fellow Scarcely any recol-
lection that the traveller brings home is
more striking and weird, or more hideouS.
Plover Bay, in Siberia has been for fer
ty years or more a whaling station of some
Importance, having a harbor excellently
well sheltered from the driving storms,
which at certain seasons make navigation
extremely difficult. II was here that the
English naval ship Plover was laid up in
the winter of 1852 when searching for
Sir John Franklin. OF course the bay took
its name from the ship The church of St
